By sheer numbers, a tiny percentage of dudes are going to be that massive while also being sufficiently athletic.  Then they have to be able to handle other dudes with similar freakish traits (probably better) across from them on the OL.  That's a rare combination.  

If I had those rare traits, I'd be trying to play OL all day, every day.  More money at the position and a similar dearth of talent relative to need.  

I feel like NT is a position worth buying in FA, at a premium.  It's not going to kill you cap-wise relative to other positions, and getting a sure thing in the draft is highly unlikely.  

That worked, until our premium guy went down for the season again, and they had nobody to fill the role effectively.
